I'm developing a commercial web site and one of the requirements is to convert records from a VFP DBF into a flat ASCII file. I have the code working in straight VFP 7, but I'm not sure if I should make this into a web service through VFP or just rewrite the code in an ASP/VB Script file.
From what I've been reading, it seems there are many gotchas and pitfalls with publishing a web service. I'm especially concerned because a third party will be hosting the web server so my access to tinker with the server will be very limited.
So I'm inclined to just write the ASP code. On the other hand, I would like to learn to use this new VFP 7 feature. What are your thoughts on this?
Thanks,
John
